Pesticide Examination and Licensing

The Pesticide Program conducts the examination, licensing, and certification of pesticide applicators.

MDAR presents the new Online Data System known as the ePLACE Portal. This portal is part of an initiative to bring all agencies within the Executive Office of Energy and Environmental Affairs into an online permitting and authorization system. This system provides an easy and convenient way for individuals to apply for pesticide exams and licenses. All Applications for examination or licensure must now be submitted online.
